“
Smash ‘N’ Survive has been developed exclusively for the PlayStation
Network, and is an action packed intuitive pick-up-and-play brutal
vehicle brawler, that with endless hours of single and multiplayer
madness offers fantastic value”, said Rajat Ojha,
President of Version 2 Games, “We are proud to be the team
behind India’s debut PlayStation 3 release and look forward
to establishing a dedicated community and expanding the
Smash ‘N’ Survive universe post-launch with future downloadable
content.”

Throughout competitions players compete across a range of
destructible maps including a black market, stadium, factory, ship,
backyard and various arenas and can also take control of
environmental factors such as tornadoes to destroy opponents' cars.
Players can also upgrade their cars in both the garage and
shop.

Rajat Ojha, "
Smash ‘N’ Survive offers nuances/ideas that are not usually seen in games of
this genre especially in the premise you don’t need to chase
and surpass the vehicles but you have to smash and 'kill' cars,
whilst the group Demolition Derby and planting a bomb are also
being tried for the first time. Each of the many locations offers a
new challenge and objective - the territory control is where
players will play dominance play by capturing the territories or
assisting their friends to capture the territory, you can also try
to reclaim your territory. Plant the bomb is about getting to a
certain destination or conversely finding and defusing a bomb that
you must find."
